10/08 Nearly Home. At a stop-sign in south-eastern Sonoma County, California.
(The Westward series was taken while driving from Michigan to California in October. I'm going to post them three at a time, in no particular order and will try to mention if I remember what state it was taken in. The majority of these photos were snapped while driving 80 miles per hour on interstate 80 so will be blurry, have dirt specks or water droplets from the day it rained, or have a slightly-tinted-car-window look. Don't worry, I rarely shoot while at the wheel, so most likely, they were taken while Donovan was driving, after I had done my share for the day.)

10/08 It's a quick decent from the Sierra Mountains into California's central valley. The flat part up ahead with all the overpasses is Sacramento.

10/07 This shot from I-80 in Wyoming could have had a lot more cars in it. Drive-by photography is hit-or-miss but mostly, it's miss. Though, I do like that hill!

Overlooking I-80, west of Cheyenne, Wyoming, on Sherman Hill, the highest point on the Lincoln Highway, is this great statue of Lincoln's head. We stopped here to rest a moment after a difficult climb for my little burdened Honda.

We pulled off I-80 to take a break and look at the view. I found this a ways off the side of a road behind a strip-mall. This is one of the few shots I took while stopped.

October 6, I-80, around the Nebraska/Wyoming border.
When snapping photos in a moving vehicle, so much of what I catch is random. When I look at them later I find little surprises such as the billboard and the double reflections in this photo.

October 5, I-80, about 34 miles east of the Iowa/Nebraska border.
The sun sets on our longest day of driving. We got stuck in traffic twice while passing through Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa, finally stopping in Omaha, Nebraska.
